Dear So and So

[OakLeaf]

Ugh. I have fired actually *two* doctors, one of whom I really liked, because their staff made it impossible. Not having me in the book when I showed up for my appointment, calling me for "missed" appointments that I didn't and wouldn't have scheduled, billing weirdness that I'm pretty sure was some kind of insurance fraud... Hope you can get things worked out with your vet!

Nevermind.

Dear Poison Ivy,

Please stop itching. Please stop oozing. Please just go away.

cold tea and teabag compresses help, especially if it gets on you face.

Dear DH, Okay,after five days of over 100 degrees, I will be more open to the idea of a visit to west Texas where the high is 92...

Dear grass waterers,
Surely you noticed that we had nearly 2 inches of rain over the past two days? So why were your sprinklers going this morning, watering grass of all things? I'm sure they are programmed but come on, take some responsiblity here. And why water grass anyway? Sure, it'll go brown if we get a prolonged dry spell in the summer, but it'll green right back up as soon as the rain returns. It's a yard, not a golf course, for pete's sake!

Dear mom--
Yes, I realize you want me to clean stuff out of my old room, and that I'm not home very often and you're trying to be helpful. However, no one touches my books. I've already taken what I want to get rid of to Half-Price Books. The rest of them are either books that I enjoy reading multiple times (I know you don't quite get that), books that I'm attached to (and those I think you agree with me on), or a couple that I haven't read yet. Hands off the books!
